| ECON
452 (Economics of Cuba) is being taught in conjunction with Professor Joe
Super's HIST 242 (Latin America: Reform and Revolution). We have two primary
objectives. The first is to introduce students to the principal historical
problems and themes necessary to explain modern Cuban society. The second
is to analyze the fundamental structures of the Cuban economy, placing
those structures in a broad social and political context.
To accomplish these objectives the course emphasizes lectures, discussions, and audio-visual materials as a prelude to a program of study in Cuba. The program in Cuba is hosted by the University of Havana, and includes lectures and site visits on current issues in Cuba. |
